Chipotle peppers, cherries, and a ruby red port add a rich, sweet heat to these delectable lamb chops.

Ingredients

  • 4 lamb chops (loin, rib, sirloin or shoulder)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 3 Tbs butter
  • 1/2 cup ruby red port
  • 1 cup dried cherries
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 Tbs honey
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 Tbs cornstarch
  • 1 tsp chipotle peppers in adobo, canned, drained, minced
  • Salt, to taste

Directions

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, over medium heat, cook onion in butter for about 2 minutes. Add port and stir; simmer until liquid is reduced by 1/3. Stir in dried cherries, chicken stock, honey and thyme; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Thicken sauce by mixing 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and whisking into simmering mixture. Add chipotle peppers and salt.
  • Cook times will vary depending on thickness of chops. For 1-inch chops, broil, grill or pan-fry chops over medium heat for approximately 4 to 6 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Spoon warmed sauce over chops.
